GET INSPIRED BY DANCEASPEN THIS MARCH

This week's guest blog comes from DanceAspen, an organization with a strong vision for the city of Aspen and the greater Roaring Fork Community to have a thriving resident dance company that cultivates relationships among local artists and other arts organizations through the dedication and collaboration of high caliber performing arts. Learn more about DanceAspen and their upcoming programming below as we continue to celebrate arts & culture in our valley. 

Part of what makes DanceAspen’s performances so dynamic and energetic is the unique creativity and collaboration the company fosters from within. As a collective whole, the company seeks out artists who can do it all -- they perform, choreograph, manage, and direct. Due to physical demands, a dancer’s performing career is often short, ending between ages thirty and forty years old. DanceAspen gives each company member the opportunity to extend their careers with involvement in other important and fulfilling roles. For example, in addition to her position as company manager, Kaya Wolsey also performs, choreographs, and directs the company’s marketing strategies.
